要旨

Mammalian (or mechanistic) target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2) is a kinase complex that targets predominantly Akt family proteins, SGK1 and protein kinase C (PKC), and has well-characterized roles in mediating hormone and growth factor effects on a wide array of cellular processes. Recent evidence suggests that mTORC2 is also directly stimulated in renal tubule cells by increased extracellular K+ concentration, leading to activation of the Na+ channel, ENaC, and increasing the electrical driving force for K+ secretion. We identify here a signaling mechanism for this local effect of K+. We show that an increase in extracellular [K+] leads to a rise in intracellular chloride (Cl-), which stimulates a previously unknown scaffolding activity of the protein 'with no lysine-1' (WNK1) kinase. WNK1 interacts selectively with SGK1 and recruits it to mTORC2, resulting in enhanced SGK1 phosphorylation and SGK1-dependent activation of ENaC. This scaffolding effect of WNK1 is independent of its own kinase activity and does not cause a generalized stimulation of mTORC2 kinase activity. These findings establish a novel WNK1-dependent regulatory mechanism that harnesses mTORC2 kinase activity selectively toward SGK1 to control epithelial ion transport and electrolyte homeostasis.
